Topic: /etc/network/interfaces problem (Read 7646 times)

First let me thank you for the excellent looking software. I'm having a few problems setting up pluto on my system. I'm using the kickstart cd. I've installed successfully but on the next reboot here is what I get:

Something goes wrong at first boot. Normally, at first boot the Pluto system doesn't have any clue on what the network settings are and reads the system's /etc/network/interfaces file to find out those settings and stores them into the database. Each boot after that, the settings from the database get put back into that file, so I guess there's a parsing problem when reading the initial settings.

Can you post me a copy of the /etc/network/interfaces file just before rebooting the system, but after it has completely finished installing? I'd like to see what the scripts mis-interprets and why, so I can fix that script.

Also, if you can give me the output of the following MySQL command, it would be very helpful:

By the way, if you want to look at the parsing script yourself, you'll find it in Network_Parameter.sh which is included and used by Network_Setup.sh. The exact function is ParseInterfaces and it's mostly written in AWK (it seemed the right way to do it at that moment).

I can't imagine how that IP could be coming from us. I did a reverse whois and it's an IP from Canada. So I don't think it's possible that one of our developers inadvertently hardcoded something in. Is that IP address within the normal range of IP's that your ISP would give you? Are you in Canada?

We found the problem. It was a bug in our processing of the network settings. We fixed it, and the new code will be included in our 2.0.0.3 build, which we will probably be putting up later today once it goes through some more testing. Sorry about that.
